<p>Several videos of guards passing out on the ground during the rehearsal are all over the internet.

<p>Decked up in the full ceremonial uniform, the guardsmen were wearing woollen uniforms and bearskin hats in the hot weather.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the reports, more than 1,400 soldiers of the Household Division and the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery were present on the ground under the scorching sun.&nbsp;</p>
